So i kinda new on here and i was wondering why you all wanted to get sims 2,

Was it for the Educational look ?
The Careers?
The Families?
The Pets? and soo on

I picked it for the families and most of my sims are family people with the most having 23 children one died and another died recently and two are still at home and 102 grandchildren , around 12 adopted and 7 died and 4 were taken away. And there being around 34 families due to divorce and re-marriage.

I bought the sims 2 for the sole purpose of getting Seasons and Nightlife.  I didn't have much interest in the game after I played it once on a friend's mac computer.  It was really slow and looked complicated and I thought it was just like that.  Didn't realize at the time that macs just don't handle the game too well.  So I avoided it for a long time, still playing the sims 1 religiously.  Then I saw the advertisement for Seasons and that sold me.  I got sold on Nightlife when I found out about vampires, but I mostly up and bought the game specifically for Seasons.  It's still the best expansion EA has ever released.

Well, my friend borrowed the game from a family member of hers. I played it quite regularly on her laptop, but eventually she had to give the disc back, so we didn't have the game any more.

I had sims 1 at home, but after playing sims 2, that just wouldn't do. So I went and bought the game, and now I have all EP's and SP's because all the stuff they add is just so darn good. xD

I got hooked because of a cousin of mine. I think she had all the sims1 games, and I also wanted to try those. I bought a colection of three sims1 packs - which I played a lot. She also got me hooked on sims2 - because everything looked soooooo cool when I first saw her play the game. I bought sims2 + uni (and maybe nightlife too - can't remember) the same time as I bought my laptop (which was remarkable fast back then...). And since then, there has been a lot of very late nights playing sims2 :D (I gave up sims1 because the computer I have that game on is superslow and takes ages even to start... it's still running windows 98, I think...)

One of my relatives actually thought the sims 1 was evil lol (she claimed it was because you could give your sims personalities and that was somehow "playing god" even though people play with dolls and give them personalities...). But I was intrigued, and ended up getting the game. And when Sims 2 came out I got it, cuz' it looked even more fun than sims 1. Though sometimes I miss the sheer weird chaos of the first one. My sims were never ever satisfied.

... I just love playing God!!! >=]

My friend had it on her phone and i loved controlling that little chicks life:lol: and then we found out there were versions for the pc and they were like a bazillion times better so we went and bought it and now here we are. Lol. I agree about seasons being the bestest expansion ever^^:D

Buying The Sims 2 was a natural progression from Sims 1.

I was duped into the dazzling graphics and animations.

But, to be honest, I bought it the day it came out. I installed it, looked it over, and went, ho-hum and uninstalled it. Went back to playing the Sims 1 for the longest time.

I never re-installed it until after Seasons came out. I own only up to OFB. I do own Pets but uninstalled that. Too many problems with it.

I never had the complete Sims 1 collection...

When Sims 2 came out I bought it the day it came out as I did love Sims in general so much. I own all Sims 2 expansion packs up to date. I could never uninstall any expansion no matter how much I dislike it as I love being able to have all options at my finger tips if or when I need them.

Same goes for Sims 3. I'm looking so forward to it. I'll definitly be buying the collectors edition and I'll definitly be buying all expansion packs aswell. I'm not much of a complainer and never really complained or noticed many of the bugs in the Sims 2 and it's expansions, so it doens't really bother me. As long as they bring out a patch, it's all sweet.

I had played sims 1 since the day it came out, so buying sims 2 was the natural route to go. What really attracted me to sims 2 was the generational aspect of being able to have toddlers and teens, and the also the graphics were so much better.

My brother and his friends were always playing on Sims 1, and I watched that for awhile. Then I was watching them play Sims 2, and thought it looked like fun. I went out and bought two of the Life Stories ones, and was hooked. I would play so much, that I was dreaming about my families.  I have bought Sims 2, and all the expansion packs, as well as all the stuff packs. My hubby complains all the time, lol.  It is my addicition....way better for the body than some other addictions out there....not sure if it is better for the pocketbook though.  1jump

When I heard the first thing ever about a Sim I was sitting in my 10th grade biology class in high school and it was in the morning time so I was listening to my friend Patrice talk about how her 'sim's' child got took away by child services and I was half-way listening so I was like 'Who's kid got took away by childs services??' and she laughs and goes 'My Sim' and I was like WTF is a Sim? and she told me to google Sims and so I did and I was like cool what an awesome looking game but I didn't buy it then at the time I really became interested in it when I went to visit my parents and my little sister one weekend and this was 'after' graduation like 2 years lmao :p and my sister Autumn was playing 'The Sims' one for PS2 and I go 'let me play it for a second I heard about this game and I want to see what the big deal is about it' so once she let me play it I swear I set there from 7pm to 12 midnight playing it! :eek: and I knew I had to get it for my computer so thats my story and I've been sold ever since I just need one more EP and I'll have my whole collection of Sims which I have everyone for PS2 cept' Castaway and I only have 2 SP's but I don't buy alot of them because of how low on memory my computer is. . . :rolleyes:

I had been a Sims 1 player since it came out, and I owned all the EP's for it with the exception of Unleashed. Buying Sims 2 seemed to be the next step, and was just about the highlight of my life when it came out, because it was Sims 1 but better graphics and more things to do.

I miss Sims 1 sometimes, but Sims 2 and all it's expansions (besides Pets, I wish I'd never installed it) are the best.

I suppose the reason I bought Sims 1 in the first place was because I LOVE building characters, being able to determine what they do and how they live their lives. Even in other video games, I get upset if I can't customize my character and so on. The real gamers I know laugh at me for how long I'll take putting together my character at the beginning of games like Oblivion ... "But guys, this is my favourite part! It's like the Sims!" lol.

I blame it all on my sister. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

First off let me say that I had no interest in sims at all. I had no plans to buy it or play it.

Well.... a friend of mine purchased the sims 2 for his girl friend and he could not get it to work in his computer. I told him to let me take a look at it to see if it would play in my computer. To find out if it was a defective game or a problem with his pc.
It turns out that he bought the dvd version and he didn't have a dvd drive in his pc. I did have a dvd drive and the game played fine for me. It was a few months before he was able to put a dvd drive in his pc so I just " held on " to his game for him during that time.

By the time he put in the dvd drive and wanted the game back I had purchased a couple of expansion packs and discovered all of the down loadable custom content. This was about three years ago and now I have all of the expansion packs and a couple of the stuff packs.  :D

The rest is history as they say...  ;D

I also had no interest of getting sims 2. In fact, i wanted sims 1 back! (i was really behind)

But my bro got the sims 2 deluxe and sim city deluxe edition with his vista pc, he didnt play them so have gave them to me  ;D

Exept now he has sims 2 deluxe back, so i downloaded a thing to make it not use a CD.


I still have the sim city though MOUWAHAHAHAHA!

This user was shot with a tranquilliser and was taken to the local metal institute.

Thank God.

I got The Sims 2 because the graphics just looked so much better than Sims 1. Also, I had only owned Sims 1 for about 6 months before Sims 2 came out and I had no expansions, which made switching easy since I wasn't really attached to Sims 1. I think the switch to Sim 3 will be much more difficult.

My daughter came home from school with a friend who brought a game called The Sims and they were playing it on our computer in the den.  I watched for a while and it looked like fun, so we bought it.  Then we bought Livin' Large.  I played it for a while, but got bored of it.  A few years later, my daughter told me that EA/Maxis was making a Sims 2 and I responded, "Really?  hmmm, that's nice." and wasn't interested -- until just before it was released.  She was at a website looking at all the preview pics and insisted I look at them too.  Well, it looked soooo much better than the original sims and it said that EA was releasing The Sims 2 in September (my daughter's birthday is also in September) so I thought, "It would make a great birthday present for her."

Bought it for her -- ended up playing it more than she did, lol!  I only have s2, Uni, N/L, OFB, Pets (took that back off -- can't stand that ep), and Seasons though.  Well, I also have FFS, G/L and Celebrations but that's it.  I don't have any of the newer ones.

Oh, so people don't think I'm cruel, I bought my own -- so I've bought all the games twice.  Once for me and once for my daughter.  :)  But I actually play the game.  She hasn't played it in years.  I bought all of them for her and she's only installed s2, Uni and Nightlife, the rest are still in unopened cases.  :(

Oh, and Seasons is my favorite ep too.  ;D
